Very little in OpenStreetMap is "strictly forbidden". However, it is a collaborative project - we need to work together to create the best map. If one person is doing something that other people find really annoying, it is common courtesy to stop.

Kysymyksestä maankäytön liimaamisesta teihin, mielestäni useimmat kartoittajat nykyään yrittäisivät olla tekemättä sitä. Myös landuse=residential#Separation_from_roads sanoo: "Maankäytön liimaamista tieviivoihin ei suositella. Liimattu maankäyttö tekee datan kanssa työskentelystä paljon vaikeampaa. On parempi, että maankäytön raja päättyy tien reunaan, ajoradan reunaan tai että se menee kokonaan päällekkäin tien kanssa, jos sama maankäyttö jatkuu toisella puolella."

On the question of gluing landuse to roads, I think most mappers nowadays would try not to do it. Also, landuse=residential#Separation_from_roads says "It is strongly discouraged to glue landuse to road lines. Glued landuse makes the data much harder to work with. It is better to have the landuse boundary stop at the edge of the road, the edge of right of way, or overlap the road completely if the same landuse continues on the other side. "

There isn't really such a thing as "access=agricultural" in England and Wales. Sometimes access along lanes like this will be private, and sometimes people keeping sheep will rent fields off each other , but their access doesn't make it "not private". Sometimes there may be permissive foot or horse access and sometimes (though not here) a legal right of way.
Here there may also be some sort of fishing access to the Nidd?
When the weather improves a bit and I do the next bit of Nidderdale Way I might get chance to have a look :)

The "name:th-Latn" is a version of a Thai actual name - I wouldn't expect it to be easy to pronounce by an English speaker., the same way a French person might struggle with "Hampsthwaite" or an English person with "Fermanagh".
The problem with any "made up name for OSM" (regardless of where from) is that it's made up.
